Nylas’ Google Auth Guide

Nylas has updated its Google authentication process to comply with Google's new User Data Policy, which requires users to manually select the data scopes they consent to share. This update aims to minimize user drop-off by simplifying the authentication process while maintaining security. To enhance successful authentication rates, developers can implement a two-step OAuth request, splitting identity and Gmail scopes into separate authentication stages, or add an additional OAuth screen that explains the need for specific data access. Both methods are designed to ensure users understand and consent to the data access required by applications while reducing friction in the authentication flow.
